If you are on Coumadin, Lovenox, Heparation or other blood thinner, it is important that you be stable on those medication dosages. How you are treated will depend on what area of pain your have. With use of ultrasound treatment modification may allow treatment without stopping these medications. Please mention this to use when you call or email the office.
